Use the template as a starting layout, then replace its example information with the actual agreed work. The details below help you decide what to enter and what to check before sending.
Define the service period, included tasks and billing basis. For a retainer, explain how included hours and approved additional hours are handled. Keep reimbursable purchases distinct from your service fee and document approval before incurring them.
Include the client engagement, billing period and task or timesheet reference. Check the legal billing name and delivery contact against the accepted work. Keep the accepted scope, time summary and approvals for additional hours or costs available to resolve questions. An invoice records the charge; it does not replace the underlying approval or supporting documents.
The invoice shows ten hours plus an approved purchase. If the client uses a prepaid hour bundle, reconcile usage before billing these hours again.
| Description | Quantity | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Administrative support — agreed hours | 10 | 35.00 | 350.00 |
| Approved reimbursable purchase | 1 | 20.00 | 20.00 |
| Example subtotal | 370.00 | ||
Copying sensitive task descriptions from internal client systems into the invoice may disclose unnecessary information. Summarise the task category and use a suitable reference.
Confirm who approves the time record and who pays. If an hour total is queried, provide the agreed timesheet summary against the original invoice instead of creating a second invoice for the same work.
The free browser tool prepares the document. Saving customers, sending tracked invoices and managing reminders require an account and are subject to plan limits. Payment status needs accurate payment records; an invoice view alone does not confirm payment.
